The Crying of Lot 49

holy crap this book is awesome....not done....brb.

i am not going to write a real review, there are a lot of good ones out there, go read one of those.

whatever i or you or your reviewer of choice think about the story, the writing is incredible. even sentences that don't describe anything are constructed in such a way that i could read them over and over aloud and dance to it. it's not what i would call pretty, or beautiful. it's smart, sardonic, punchy, funky....if i were writing a real review i would say something about the alluring cynicism of the language adds another layer subversion, and another serving of disillusionment for Oedipa as she becomes aware of the world disingenuineness.

it's a great book.
